I've been scrambling to finish my holiday knitting, and BAD THINGS have been happening.

Even with the support of the Ravelry group Procraftination, I'm still managing to avoid getting things done.

I've cut back my gift projects to two (Skywalker socks for Y and a Fun Fur scarf for my sister), rather than worry about two more pairs of socks for my parents. The Skywalkers are almost done, with only an inch of ribbing to go on the second sock, and I haven't started the scarf yet, since it will hopefully only take a few hours.

A few more things going on...

Nutmeg made a pair of my Ribbed Cable socks as a Christmas gift, in a beautiful dark blue merino. Photos by Nutmeg and used with permission. Click here to see her project on Ravelry.




For Sale or Trade



I'd like to destash this yarn, it's been sitting around for ages and I can't think of anything I'd like to do with it.

Yarn brand/name: Needful Yarns Kabir
Weight: Bulky
How much? 1 skein, 70 yds.
Fiber content: 50% wool/50% acrylic
Colors: Shades of green, khaiki

Made in Italy, an interesting thick-and-thin yarn to play with.

Retail value: $7-$9, I'm asking $8 including shipping within the continental US. Ask about prices for international shipping.

I'd also like to trade it for something of similar value. I've been meaning to try the KnitPicks Essentials sock yarns, and I always need hooks and needles. Make an offer!
